LANGYARNS BABY COTTON NATURALLY COLOURED – Pure Colours from Nature

The Story
Since 1992, this cotton has been grown by more than 400 farming families in Northeast Brazil. Using traditional, small-scale methods, the crop grows alongside food plants, irrigated only by rainwater. It is 100% pesticide-free, non-GMO, and entirely organic. Each ball supports sustainable farming, ethical production, and the preservation of heritage cotton varieties.
Knitting Experience
The yarn handles smoothly with excellent stitch definition, lending itself beautifully to both textured and plain patterns. It produces a breathable, lightweight fabric that feels soft against even the most delicate skin.
Care Note
As with all naturally coloured cottons, shades may gently fade in direct sunlight. Store finished items away from bright light when not in use to preserve their natural tones.
